Day 9 of the 2018 Advent calendar.
This is more like it. An interesting beer with some subtle character.
It is nice and clear and golden, but with some sluge in the bottom of the bottle. Good head and a nice aroma of bready yeast and fruit.
It's sweet but balanced by some hops, which then give over immediately to the spicy cardamom and clove-like flavor undertones.
A nice effort.

Day 9 of the craft beer advent calendar. This is a well made Belgian style ale that is easy drinking but shows some complexity as it warms up. The yeast notes add some real interest to the finish and the nose invites with ever sip

330ml bottle - day 9 of the 2018 Craft Beer Advent Calendar. Some lazy-ass metaphors about blondes in the marketing blurb.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky, and mildly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some decent random island group pattern lace around the glass as it slowly seeps away.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, candi sugar, bubblegum, some earthy Belgian yeastiness, faint domestic citrus rind, and more understated leafy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale and wheat malt, estery yeast, still muddled citrus peel, and more grassy, musty, and floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is average in its palate-propping frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and sort of smooth, with just a touch of yeasty intransigence causing a burp in the proceedings here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and faded fruitiness showing the most lingering moxie.
Overall - yeah, the yeast definitely outshines the guest Galaxy hops in this offering. Not my particular proverbial cup of tea, obviously, but I'm sure that a lot of Belgian beer fans will get a kick out of it. Not recommended if you are yeast averse.
